Maroney landed badly on a dismount and was carried off by medical personnel. Raisman then mounted the same set of bars, and fell when moving from the low bar to the high bar. She banged her legs on the cement.

Raisman is bruised and scraped, but won’t have to undergo any other testing. Maroney, who battled a toe injury throughout the Olympics, will undergo further testing to diagnose her left knee.

Both gymnasts tweeted their thanks to fans who flooded their Twitter timelines with good wishes.
